Convince me why the Abomination isn't the greatest class.
Also, Darkest Dungeon thread.

How do I get good at this game?
I haven't played in quite a long time, so which classes are good or bad now?
Last I remember the Man-at-Arms was incredibly strong and the Arbalest was pretty weak. I'm sure there's been quite a few balance patches since.
>>319437290
Learn good team configurations and figure out the right amounts of the right kinds of supplies to bring. Don't be afraid to run and quit when shit goes south.
Honestly, a lot of the game is luck-based, which crits, disarming traps, etc., so it's about hedging your bets.
>>319436647
Plague Doctor a best.
>>319438217
>Those blights
>Those stuns
>Those heals
>Those cures
>Those buffs
Plague doctor is definitely one of my favorites.
>>319436647
I wouldn't know, didn't touch the game since septmeber because I'm waiting for the full release in january.
I'd rather get surprised when I eventually finish it.
>>319436647
Sorry, greatest class is reserved for best wretch.
>Leper and Abomination will never work together
Truly the devs hate good things.
Occultist and Plague Doctor are my favourites.
Throw in the Abomination just because it's fitting and some stress heal and we are good to go
>>319441147
Can the Occultist's heal cause people to bleed?
When's Goblet Gobber gonna get a nerf?
When is this coming out on PS4?
>>319441324
Yes it will make your teammates bleed, they can resist it though.
Is this game even worth it now or should I wait till it comes out of EA? I don't want a shit load of new content in several months when i'm already done playing it.
>>319441147
If Darkest Dungeon was an MMO I would totally play Occultist.
Everyone keeps talking about how Darkest Dungeon is a Lovecraft simulator, but it feels more to me like a mix between Conan and Warhammer Fantasy "RPG" game, what with swinemen being the beastmen (right up to the hooch barrels you can find in their warrens), the atmosphere of hopelessness and horror permeating everything, magic and sorcery being more of a taboo and unholy practice more than a "I cast a level 5 fireball", and the classes feeling like they've been transfered straight out of the Warhammer RPG rulebook.
So yes, you don't have orcs, dwarves or elves, but the atmosphere and setting feels just like a Warhammer scenario to me, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
>>319441563
never ever
golden lel
>mfw waiting for January 16th
It's just not worth playing right now because I KNOW that the finished product will be much better. But I want to play so bad.
>>319441410
Never, so rev up those stun grenades.
>>319436647
what can the abomination do?
what kind of function does it serve?
>>319441324
Yes, but when he pulls a crit, itjust works
>>319442042
Crazy damage and self healing at the expense of stress on your party and not being able to party with "Holy" characters like Vestel/Crusader.
>>319441563
"Thanks for all the interest in Darkest Dungeon on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita. We are definitely still coming to those platforms and have started development for them. However, release date for those is currently projected as early 2016. We'll keep you updated as things firm up!"
So basically after January 2016.
Have they said what the full release will add? Or will it just be a patch with bug fixes and nothing else?
>>319436647
I stopped playing this game a long while ago when the RNG became ridiculous to an unfair extent, and the game became a chore.
Is it any better now?
>>319442293
Probably the new Merchant class.
>>319441842
Could you handle the banter when you pull a 0-bleed at the most crucial time?
>>319442293
>>319442360
And the Darkest Dungeon, the final area of the game.
>>319442293
Well, the full release will add the Darkest Dungeon so there's that. From what I gathered back when they were still running the kickstarter campaign, they wanted to implement a "never again" mechanic, where your party members would only visit the Darkest Dungeon once and be so riddled with trauma that they would never want to go back again.
I wonder if they're still planning on doing that, but oh boy would people moan about that.
>>319442480
>Finally we have reached... the Darkest Dungeon
BRAVO
This game got old fast for me desu. The combat is like pokemon but with MORE rng if you can believe it.
On top of that, if you fuck up late game and half your team dies, it takes forever grind to level them up again, de-stress the survivors, and have money to buy them shit.
I ended up just spamming 3 Meme at Arms and a vestal back before they nerfed his magical ranged attack reflection. Was the dumbest team comp, and I didn't particularly like that character, but I was so sick of losing and grinding the characters I actually liked.
>>319442360
How long until my happy merchant jokes?
>>319442665
>AMBUSHED BY FOUL INVENTION
What did he mean by this?
>>319442635
So it's either one-shot it or find new party members? Sounds fun to me, you should have a bunch of functioning parties anyway.
>>319441883
You realize Warhammer fantasy is pretty heavily Lovecraft inspired right? A lot of the basic themes of the game are pretty Lovecraftian, like inherited guilt and families falling into decay. You're not wrong though.
>>319442360
What do we know about the happy merchant class?
>>319443667
I haven't heard anything about how it works, just that it is the next class.
>>319441883
Conan is Lovecraftian at points and the two authors were friends you stupid shit
I'm glad we had both Darkest Dungeon and Bloodborne to scratch my Lovecraft itch.
Now I need to play that Arkham Horror boardgame
>>319445574
Eldritch Horror is better than Arkham Horror in my opinion. Arkham Horror takes fucktons of time to set up, and rules are convoluted like two shoggoths fucking.
Is Abomination out yet?
>>319446021
Yes
>>319443047
As far as I remember, they said something about using party members who had survived the Darkest Dungeon to train your other heroes for what to expect.
>>319446382
That sounds awesome.
>>319447849
Is this DD or Bloodborne, I can't tell anymore.
>>319449091
DD, or some say, BB..
>>319447849
What a goofy skeleton dick
is darkest dungeon worth getting as early access or should I wait for the full release?
>>319451257
I bought it at first release and I think it's well worth it. They don't have too much more to add at this point anyway.
>>319451257
Definitely worth it, there is a huge amount of content currently.
>>319451257
Yes, altho release is not that far ahead.
>>319444183
Mansions of Madness > Arhkam Horror but you should just find a great group to play CoC tabletop with. Loads of fun if done right.
>>319454032
What about Eldritch Horror? I hear it's a better version of Arkham Horror.
Last time I played this game was right before they added the corpse mechanic that was apparently awful, I was bored of it and felt like they needed to make it more interesting.
Is it good now?
